[Support request] which code to add to allow google mention the ''last update date ''

[aziz]

Hi team
any idea how to show Google ( in the SERP ) the last update date instead of the original published date, thanks.

I updated all my posts but still showing the original dates ( published dates )

please see picture here

Hi Leo ,

thanks, my posts are showing the last updated date.
will the above code help Google index and show also the same ( last updated date ), in the SERP ?

thanks in advance
Aziz

Yup the code changes the HTML to updated date which is what Google would be reading 🙂
